🌄 [Destination Details:Why Choose the New Oriental Express?]
✅ Scenic Advantages:
Xinjiang is vast and its attractions are scattered. Traditional travel requires frequent transfers between transportation modes, while the New Oriental Express connects northern and southern Xinjiang in the form of a special train, traveling at night to save time and allowing in-depth sightseeing during the day. For example:
🔸 Kanas:The latest policies in 2026 show that the scenic area implements a “flow-limiting reservation system,” and special train tourists can enjoy priority access, avoiding queues with independent travelers;
🔸 Duku Highway:Recommended to be open for 4 months each year (the 2026 opening period is June 1 – October 10). The special train itinerary precisely matches the opening period, crossing the heart of the Tianshan Mountains and allowing you to see the scenery of all four seasons in one day;
🔸 Sayram Lake:A new “lake-ring sightseeing mini train” was added in 2026, which special train tourists can experience for free, enjoying a 360° view of “the last tear of the Atlantic.”
✅ Cultural Experience:
The special train specially arranges interactive projects such as “Tajik family visits” and “Kazakh ethnic family visits.” Tourists can go deep into local villages, taste specialty foods (such as “kumyz” milk tea of various ethnic groups and “naren” hand-grabbed meat of various ethnic groups), learn traditional handicrafts (such as embroidery of various ethnic groups), and experience the living customs of various ethnic groups. The latest feedback in 2026 shows that tourist satisfaction with such experience projects is as high as 98%.
✅ Seasonal Suitability:
Xinjiang is beautiful in all four seasons, but the ways to enjoy it differ by season:
